My best friend is leaving this Thursday to join the Army, I am very happy for her making this decision to better her life, but I am very sad as well, We have been friends for over 16 years, since we were kids, I am also concerned about the military due to the war, I am happy but concerned for her safety, I have been avoiding the goodbye for a week know,I am just no good at them, but I have wrote her a letter expressing my feelings and I plan on seeing her today before she goes…..
